Father Ted said:I have a JEC (in copper) and a UFO (also in Red Bronze) - I like both, equally, in spadefulls. The knurling on the JEC is more grippy though I think.
Currently the UFO is lashed to a Souplex and the JEC to the 7 O'Clock New.
I regret I have but one face to shave :-(
Hang on, there is the missus.......((((Mwahahahahahahar))))

Knurling can be a bit of a black art and getting things as perfect as he does takes a lot of practise, patience and trial and error. There is a simple formula you can use for getting close, but the rest comes down to experimentation and
thousandths of an inch, not to mention wasting a lot of material in experimentation. It takes a lot of hours in practise to turn out knurling of that quality.
Well done Rafael, i have only just started making handles and know what it takes, especially when you want things to be perfect.

You honestly feel a sense of pride when using these handles, knowing they have been lovingly passed through a lathe by hand rather than a computer model. You can almost feel the passion Rafael must have when making these handles.

Oh jeeez, that's a good looking color combo. More gold in it than I thought, which is fine with me. Contrast with the head is quite pleasant to my eye. Heh, as a bonus, it even seems like you enjoy the shave!
Congrats on the new Frankenrazor body part added to your arsenal,
Martin
